Sean J. Martin

Sean J. Martin is a respected family law attorney with more than 25 years of experience representing clients in Middle Tennessee. After clerking for a family law court in Davidson County, he began building his practice by trying, negotiating, and mediating challenging cases. Sean is known for his strong advocacy, strategic judgment, and ability to bring even the most complex family law disputes to a successful resolution.

Sean Martin earned his J.D. from the University of Tennessee and completed his B.A. at the University of Tennessee as well. He also attended Yale University in New Haven, where he further developed his analytical skills and commitment to high-level legal practice. His academic background continues to influence his thorough, disciplined approach to each case.

Throughout his career, Sean has handled every type of family law matter, including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, and property division. His work includes extensive courtroom litigation and high-stakes settlement negotiations. He believes the best results come from experience—trying cases, arguing motions, and navigating long negotiation sessions where the outcome can shape a family’s future. That practical, in-the-trenches experience is central to the results he delivers for clients.

In addition to his litigation practice, Sean Martin is a Certified Rule 31 Family Law Mediator. His mediation approach focuses on helping parties build their own solutions rather than leaving decisions to the court. He encourages constructive dialogue, respects core values, and guides clients through the emotional stages of conflict toward resolution. Whether serving as an advocate or mediator, Sean is committed to helping families move forward with clarity, stability, and confidence.
